The Cleveland Foundation wants to take you to the movies –
and a show. On Monday, the Foundation announced they will make two of the city's
top arts festivals the subject of their March and June centennial gifts to the
city, the Cleveland International Film Festival and Tri-C JazzFest.

You can also order tickets by calling at 1-877-304-FILM
or 216-241-6000 for JazzFest tickets.

"We have provided nearly $3 million in total support for
these festivals throughout the past three decades. We hope our centennial gift
of the downtown festivals encourages many new festival-goers to check out these
amazing events," said Robert E. Eckardt, executive vice president of the
Cleveland Foundation.

More than 40 different films will be shown on eight separate
screens at Tower City Cinemas on March
24. Patrons will be able to reserve two tickets per movie for a maximum of four
films that day. The festival runs at Tower City Cinemas and around the city
from March 19 to 30.

"To now be celebrating the foundation's centennial with
its March gift of a free day at the Festival, is one of the greatest thrills in
the history of our organization," said Marcie Goodman, Cleveland International
Film Festival executive director.

The Cleveland Foundation Days at the Tri-C JazzFest will
include a Friday, June 27 Gregory Porter
concert at the Ohio Theatre. Jazz fans will be able to reserve a maximum of
four tickets, with 1,000 total tickets available.

Additionally, the Cleveland Foundation will be presenting
a series of free outdoor concerts on Star Plaza in PlayhouseSquare that Friday
and Saturday, starting at 3 p.m. No tickets will be required for the outdoor
concerts.
